N2  - Simultaneous measurements of volumetric water content (&#952;) in the soil profile by neutron scattering (NP), time domain refiectometry (TDR), and tensiometers (TENS), and leaf water potential (LWP) were carried out in a commercial cotton field under semi-arid conditions. The good correlation between averaged &#952; values by TENS and TDR suggests that the preferred TDR technique can replace the more commonly used TENS. Slopes of the linear relations between LWP and &#952; increase in the order NP&#60;TDR&#60;TENS This order may be explained by the combination of the &#8216;sphere-of-influence&#8217; soil volume and the specific property of the water molecules sensed by the particular measuring technique.
